Is it just me or does it seem like there's a LOT going on in some of the songs, say on Absolutely Free? I enjoy listening to it, but it seems as there is so much going on in all of the songs that it is kind of hard to have a good listen. Am I wrong here, or do I just not get it?

jordan, you get it. i've been listening to fz for 37 years and i still hear things i've never noticed before, in pieces that i've listened to hundreds of times.

not only that, over time i continue to hear the music in ways i've not heard it before...evolving toward (hopefully) a better understanding of what's going on in the piece.

most recently, for example, i'm having an epiphany about "jazz from hell". it's been knocking my socks off.

that's the amazing thing about frank's music.

the complexity of the music coupled with the sheer quantity of frank's output can indeed be overwhelming. don't make it a chore. it's a long journey...to be taken slowly...it requires time, patience and active listening...not a quick fix. but it's an incredibly journey and the rewards are immeasurable. just sit back, relax, and have fun.

Absolutely Free was recorded cheaply on 4-track tape and there were lots of musical details crammed onto just two or three tracks. The vocals were overdubbed onto one or two tracks with everybody singing at once. The mutli-tracks for this album (along with the "Big Leg Emma" single) were junked by MGM not long after the sessions, making a more detailed remix impossible. So it's just kind of stuck that way, like a million instruments are crammed into a tiny room.

Are you fucking kidding? Go listen to Justin Bieber if you can't handle real music!!

Jordan - sleepy is lying. He's a masochist. The rest of us only listen to the parts we like.
